Configuring with PathNavigator’s Conference on Demand Feature

If your organization uses Polycom’s PathNavigator, you can use PathNavigator’s Conference on Demand feature to place multipoint calls with up to 10 sites, including the site that places the call.

In order to place calls using PathNavigator, you need to:

• Register your VSX system with PathNavigator

• Configure your VSX system to use PathNavigator for multipoint calls (see Configuring the System to Use a Gatekeeper on page 3-7)

• Create a multi-site entry in the directory that can be used to place the multipoint call

You cannot display Discussion mode on Monitor 2.

•

To correctly display Discussion mode for multipoint calls with three sites shown on two monitors, you must select both Near and Far video sources for Monitor 1, and clear Far for Monitor 2.

Multipoint Viewing Modes

What you see during a multipoint call can depend on factors such as the VSX system monitor configuration, the number of sites in the call, whether content is shared, and whether dual monitor emulation is used.

• The VSX 8000 supports up to six sites in a multipoint call. During calls that include more than four sites with Discussion or Presentation mode selected, the VSX 8000 displays the site that is hosting the conference along with the last three sites where people spoke.

• When the system that is streaming a multipoint call is also hosting the conference, the stream displays the current speaker, no matter how Multipoint Mode is configured. When the system that is streaming a multipoint call is not hosting the conference, the stream displays the view from the streaming system.

Points to note about Discussion mode:

• To correctly display Discussion mode, you must select both Near and Far video sources for Monitor 1.
